Dropping Students from Cancelled Courses Once registration has started, undergrad course cancellations are accepted via Schedule Alteration Form (SAF), signed by the Dean of the relevant department. (For College of Letters and Science, I will make arrangements to obtain Dean Nisbets signature) SAFs are available to download and print from the Office of the Registrar website: Once the course has been cancelled, the department must notify all students enrolled in the course.

14
Who does it? Prior to the drop deadline After the department notifies the students that the class has been cancelled and asks them to drop themselves via GOLD, any students who dont drop themselves can be dropped by the department. After the drop deadline After the department provides proof to the Office of the Registrar that all students have been notified, the Office of the Registrar will drop the students.

15
What else? The department follows up to make sure that no students remain in the course. This should be done 1-2 weeks after the students have been notified of the course cancellation.

16
Notifying students Dear Student, The following class, in which you are currently enrolled has been cancelled: > Please log into GOLD and drop this class from your schedule as soon as possible. Failure to do so could result in an F or NP grade appearing on your record. In order to avoid negative impacts to your cumulative progress or financial aid status, you may need to add an additional course to your schedule to replace the one that has been cancelled. If you have any questions, please contact the advisor for the department offering this course.

If a repeat does not fall into any of the categories described above, it should be listed as an Other Repeat. Effective dates are optional for illegal and Other Repeats.

25
Repeating If the repeat information coded above is good, leave this marked as No (which is the default anyhow) If the repeat information for this course, as stated in the Repeat Comments box below, is too complicated to code in the fields above, change this to Yes.
